. % CHAPTER XIII.
In the Colmar Building
horse wits no ,a fust traveler. ;
yet tills afforded mk time to think
over my own sit nation, as well as
this clew so unconsciously furnished
me by the loguuclous driver. The
chances were that this mysterious
passenger of two nights before lind
no connection with rtie Alva case; yet
there remained a possibility. The hour,
the place, bis evident fear of pursuit,
his eager desire to get out of sight,
the heavy bag he carried, and his
being n foreigner of some kind, nil
combined to stimulate my suspicion.
Who the fellow could he was beyond
guess. The Colmar building! My
recolleetlon of the place was vague,
a huge pile on Broad near Wall, devoted
largely to brokers' ofllces. absolutely
deserted at night, except by
scrubwomen nnd a watchman or two.
A tenant might slip In at such an
hoifr, yet he would be fortunate Indeed
to escape the observation of some one
along the balls, or on the staircase.
I felt confident a careful questioning
among the night employees would give ;
some line on the identity of the mnn,
even If there should prove no other
menns of locntlng iilni.
One thing whs settled; I must go
back to the hotel. If I was to pay my
hill and depnrt I would lose nil connection
with Mnrie flossier; she would
then possess no means of finding mo
- I could not seek her, but she possessed
my address, and must surely endeavor
to communicate with me before night.
The only thing, then, was to remain
and wait for her to call. Yet this
surely exposed me to the danger of
arrest. If Waldron named me to the
police in connection with the death of
Harris.
Yet by this time I was firmly convinced
that the Russian would cither
lie outright In the affair?claiming that
Harris* Injuries had resulted wholly
from a fall downstairs in the dark?
or else would swear them upon some
unknown invader who had escaped
after knocking him senseless, f'ertalnly
he would never reveal the truth.
l ii 1 . ^ f|,

would queer Ills whole game.
That is. It would if his xuine wan
anything us I hud doped it out. If
he, working alone, or with some
accomplice, as now appeared more
probable, had been concerned in the
Alva murder, his main object at present
would assuredly be to escape de
tectlon, and get a division of the
spoils. Ills one desire would be to
remain out of sight, and in order to
do this he must shield mo from arrest.
I awoke at eleven, rested and with
:* clenr brain. .Nothing had occurred
tto disturb me. and, as I looked at the
watch and realized the hour, fell no .
longer a doubt hut what Waldron bad
found 'some way in which to protect
1)8 both. Eager to look over the noon
editions myself, 1 dressed rather
hurriedly, and descended to the lobby. ,
The pnper secured was devoid of particulars,
"Gentleman George" Harris,
well known to the police, had been
found dead in the hallway of a rooming
house on Le Compte street, operated
by Mrs. Sarah Waldron. It
la believed to have been a thieves'
quarrel from the evidence of those In
the house, who heard the sounds of a
struggle, and saw a strange .nan
escape through the front door. Th >re
were no arrests, although the police
were searching for certain parties who
might be Implicated |
So far so good; but now what about !
the Russian? He had evidently escaped
suspicion, yet would be far from easy
In his own mind. The situation in
which ho found himself would only
serve to Increase his desire to secure the
money, and get safely away while the
going was good. If he actually know
where such money was to he had,
he would scarcely delay seeking It.
If he had personally hidden that hag
of currency taken from Alva, he
would ho after the stuiY within twenty
four hours; while If another held It, !
he would as surely seek the fellow
out, and demand Ids share. This gave
me two J'-ios to follow; I might locate"
Wnl.'ri ., and shadow him; or I might
see what discoveries 1 could make In
the Colaiar building. The better
.chance acemed to nr.' In.r in Broad
. street. I ut?e a deliberate lunch,
iplnnnlng how host to proceed, ami
[hoping some bellboy would call inc to
tthe telephone. I finished the meal
uninterrupted.
Both Wall and Broad streets were
busy enough when I elbowed my
passage through the shifting crowds
of men hurrying In every direction,
^ and. reached the edge of the curh.
jpt/.ed upward at the ornamental front
of the Colmar building.
I took an elevator to the twelfth floor,
and walked slowly from end to end
of the marble corridor, leading .he
nnmea on the glass floors as I passed.
I .met hut few people and Attracted
no attention, passing down the stulrway
to the floor below. Growing more
pessimistic as I proceeded, 1 had
reached the fifth floor, when, as 1
turned at the front of the Iron stairs,
my glance rested on the letters steip
clled along the frosted glass cppodt
e?"Mutual Investment Company,
fiaaper Wine, Manager." I stopped
atlll, my heart beating wildly, feeling
that I had stumbled blindly on
tha, rery thing I had been seeking.

80 Far So Good; but Now What |
About the Russian?
10 mr' Hie noor leading mto the Alva
fuctory; the man who had left me
alone in the entry while he disappeared
to talk with Alva privately in the
little side-room. (Jasper Wine! For
the tirst time 1 lenlly believed the
old linok driver was right?he had
uetually picked up just such a fare,
lugging u hug with him, and driven
the fellow to ill's place at midnight.
1 had never connected the crime with
Wine before?yet why not'/ Lie was
among those present , he had been
alone with Alva; he doulitless knew of
the transferring of I lit* money; and
he tin wel'ed fully the description of
the man the cahhy hud picked up mar
the Jersey docks.
I stood Irresolute, undecided as to
aiy m xt move. I felt convinced I was
it last on the right trail hut how
could I verify my suspicion? There
seemed to he hut one sure nutlu?d
Whoever had actually committed tin
murder and robbery, I still clung to tin
theory that Ivan Waldroa knew him
11 -d would demand his share as lint
price of a silioit tongue. Nor would
, he, under present circumstances, la
content to wait very long for siu-lt
a division. lie needed the imiiici
more tlinn ever to escape from th*
ohs r\ 111 ion of the police. If Win*
had possession of the valise he would
cersn lily he called upon to deliver t
port'on of its contents very shortly
My best course, then, was to keep ar
eye open for Wahlron; if he luiVte.
there would 'Tie no doubt as to tin
exact nature of his errand.
- The stuirwuy gave ine no ndvan
luge; it was open and doubtless fre
qi.ently used. To he seen loitering
there for any length of time would at
tract attention. I ventured to try tin
private door, but, as expected, fount
it securely locked, nor did 1 dare ex
ert any force, not knowing who migb
he inside. The ofilee remained quiet
tit> one either leaving or entering
nor did I observe any shadow on tin
frosted glass indicative of movement J
within. Untiled and uncertain, I hut
fmrely returned to my point of con t
cealincnt, when an elevator stoppei
at this floor level, und three met
stepped out into the corridor. Two 01
them attracted no attention, hut tin
third wns In his shirt-sleeves ami wort
a cap with some insignia upon it
lie advanced briskly, and Hung nper
the door leading into what had one*
been the "Hallway Kxchange." ant!'
motioned the others to enter. As tlx
three vanished. I hoard him expiate
11 in t this was the only varum suite or
llils Door, timl then another voice
' said, dlssrillsfled. that it was nltogeth
cr too small for their pun-ive. Whoa
they came out the agent closed tlie
door carelessly and pressed the ele
vntor button, saying lie would show
them something on the second Door
above.
Even as tltcy shot up out of sight
I was across the corridor with timid
on the knoh. I feared a springloek,
but was pleasantly disappointed, the
door opening instantly, permitting me
to slip inside. There were two rooms,
both small, and I"tiered with the fragments
left by 'the late occupants.
What struck me forcibly was that
there v.s no connection between
tb'is and the next suite; they
were separated by a thick wall. 1
could I.hie here securely enough, and.
by slightly lifting the glass, gain good
view of the corridor, but it would be
impossible lu overhear unythlng inking
place in Wine's office. At tliui,
Ihe position was lietter for my purpose
than the open stairway, ami i
unfastened (lie window-.sash, propping
It open a crack so us to afford me u
fair view. If Wnldron appeared I
would endeavor to discover some
means of learning the object of his
visit. Meanwhile 1 was safe enough,
and able to observe every movement
on the floor.
Suddenly, when 1 least expected It,
the door of the Investment oilice
opened, and a young woman came out.
She hud her hut on, and I took note
of a pencil Stuck into her hair, and
felt p.o doubt she was Wine's stenographer,
who had finished her day's
work und' was departing for borne.
Then the man was probably still there
?aloae^ The girl disappeared down
the elevator, und could scarcely have
rra\thing ID the illreetiou
stopped upd discharged h pnMii'np'i',
It was h wumau who stepped out,
ghtuchtg quibkly about us though ,ur.
certain where 10 go, and I reoogidr.ed
Mnrle dossier.
She stalled down tlie corridor, looking
for toe numbers on the doors, anil
then, discovering herself wroug, retraced
her steps and upprouchcd
Wine's door. Kveu then she up
pcureu 10 uonoi ner uext move, glancing
around as though anxious to ee?
main unobserved before venturing
farther. Then, opening the door
quickly, site disappeared within, in
that moment, before the door closed,
I caught the sound of a man's voice,
startled, uttering a single surprised
excluuiutldn.
".You here! What does this mean?"
Then a low spoken answer, the
words Inaudible, and ended by a click
of the latch.
That closed door seemed to urge
me to learn what was transpiring beyond
; I could not fight hack the
temptation, Hut would it open? had
It been left unlocked? The only way
In which 1 could ascertain was to try.
There was no one to witness my attempt.
and, even if some office door
suddenly opened, 1 cVnild quickly find
concealment In the nearby stairway.
I crept out through *n narrow crack,
and approached on tiptoe the entrance
to Wine's office. No sound reached
me from within, und my fingers silently
pressed the4, knob, which
turned without resistance?the latch
was o(T. A half Inch at a time I
opened the door, listening for any
noise behind, my eyes peering through
the narrow crock at what was revealed
within. They perceived little,
merely a small, unoccupied room, evidently
an outer office, containing a
cl.eap desk, two chit Irs and a typewriting
stand, the machine covered.
Two maps hung upon the walls; in
one corner was a glass water-holder,
and in the other a diminutive closet,
the door nlnr. Tlmt ?nu nil ovunut
tliat Indistinguishable voices wore conversing
somewhere beyond the partition
and well out of view.
Fneournged to believe this I thrust
my head far enough forward to i .ano
sure. A step to the left would doubtless
hove revealed Wine, but from
where 1 stood the end of the intrtitlon
Interfered. Hy slipping to the ri?;ht It
woud be quite possible for tae to eater
without being Seen, and threi
cautious steps wou'd bring ine to the
security of the closTd. From there,
with the door into the corridor closed.
I might overhear till thut passed between
the two. I had ventured too
far now to retreat, and, without a second
of hesitation, T pressed through
the" narrow opening, and silently

closed the dorr behind me.. Confident
thm 1 had not been detected. I
crouched- Into the narrow closet,
aeniveiy knoivlng whether to be
ashamed or proud of my success.
1 could clearly distinguish * the
words of conversation. At first these
w'ero hardly understandable, seemingly
having no connection with any matter
with which I felt concerned. The
two were evldei?tl? illaeii?uin<? mm..,..
to bo sure, hut in tonus involving (Inpayment
of interest, nnd the Imposslhllity
of extending n loan. I o.orhenrd
her say, quietly but (Irmly:
"I came to you, Mr. Wine, because
of our connection in other matters. I
overheard this discussion, and felt
yot. :uj ? to be forewarned"
"I appreciate your kindness," Ik answered,
evidently surprised, "but simply
cannot raise the amount today?it
Is too lute."
"It does not have to be raised today,
but before the closing of bunking
hours toniorro\?."
"I enn have it by then," desperately.
"1 was sure you could, if I only explained
the necessity."
She arose as though her purpose
had been accomplished, hut apparently
the man was uneasy, and desired
to know more.
"But 1 fall to understand your Interest;
why should you take the trouble
to come here and tell me this?"
She laughed lightly.
"Why? really It is easily enough understood.
\W are together, are we
not? Now that Captain Alva Is dead,
it is generally believed y.ui will bo
selected to lead in tills work. Oil.
yes It Is; I have already been so informed.
And In that ease it is absolutely
necessary Hint your bank
connections be excellent. There are
other funds already in this country."
"Other funds! I supposed this last
payment whs to r>e nil."
"Assuredly not; the entire ennnot
stop for an inslnnt merely because of
tills loss. Moreover, that will doubtless
he recovered."
|>o you think so? Have the p<v
lice found any clues?"
"The police! llardly, hut tlicre are
others searching, not so epslly turned
aside. We helleve we know already
who got the money."
"You?you think you?you know?"
he could not keep the tremble out of
his voice. "Was?was it one of us?"
"It could scarcely he an outsider,
for the secret was guarded well. Only
those of that circle knew the money
Severn Is or what he is up to?"
"No. I don't. Wine, hut he's sure pot
' some Kiinie oil. ho' he's KOt my gout.
Jl.'V In with the girl all right, nud
Icnov it o d?n much. That's what
lim!.es me It erj about her being here
pumplu' you."
"She didn't pump me."
"Yon mean to say the two of you
didn't talk about Alva?"
"We talked about him, of course;
I was hero .evon, while not more than
two or three were awn re of its hav;

"Are yon a German?"
"liy Mood?yes. hut horn In Poland;
Captain Alva's mother was also
a Pole; this brought us closer together."
"And you have no suspicion of any
ope who could have known, and been
guilty of this murder and robbery?"
"Why should I? Why you ask me
thnt?" excitedly. "There were many
there; perhaps all know except me.
You. not suppose I know he?he die?"
' "Oh, no; I merely thought you
might hnve some suspicion, that was
all. If was a ft range weapon he was
killed with."
' "A strange weapon! What you
mean, a strange weapon? Do they
know what It was that killed hlin?"
"Certainly; It was picked up in the
hoitom of the auto?a dagger hutpin.
such as women, wear. See, It
was JUst like tills of mine."
She must have plucked' the ornament
from out her own hat and laid
It on the desk, for I heard the faint
click of its fall. There was a moment
of Intense silence, and I could
vision the Intense horror with which
he was staring at the instrument, unable
to command words.
"That thing!" he hurst forth filially.
"Killed with that!"
"No. ..not that; but one exactly like
it."
"Who says so?the police? Uott:
it could not kill a man. Why you tell
me this?why?"
. "Oil, only because 1 thought you
t|i* it be interested. LJowever, let's
not talk about It any itmre. You will
soffit' tluit account before the close
of bunking l.ours tomorrow?"
"IV Yes, I will Kettle."
There was the sound of a foot on
the cement floor of the corridor without.
and. almost at the same instant
the electric light, which had been
' turned on, revealed a man's shadow
on the glass of the closed door. He
seemed to stand there hesitatingly;
lh? ii lie rapped with his knuckles on
the glass.
I flattened myself out against ;|io
inner wall of the closet, aware thru
the two i(i the second otlice were coming
forward together, Wine giving
vent to a startled oath in Ids excitement.
He strode straight to the door,
and opened it with a jerk.
"You, I ley 1 What the devil do you
want here?"
"A word with you, and d?n
quick?"
It was Waldron's voice, hut his
speech ended abruptly, as ids eyes
caught sight of the woman. She
wasted no time.
"I was Just going," slip said calmly,
ignoring him, hut speaking directly
to Wine. "I will see you tomorrow
then."
She passed between tlie two. without
so much as favoring the Hussion
with n glance, and lie stared after
her with open mouth. th?n stepped
hack to watch her progress down the
corridor. Wine drew him hnatlly
aside, closing lite door tightly and
shooting the night-latch.
"The d?n girl never locks this Moor
when si e goes out." lie muttered
angrily, wheel in; aliout to face the
other. "Now. speak up, will you!
what sends you hutting in here?"
"Weil, ilrst you tell me," thundered
Wan; on, clipping the other angrily
with one hand, "what business that
female hi s with you? By f?od. Win",
if you hi* trying, to double-cross, you'll

"You haven't nothing but your own

"Ain't I! Say, Wine, don't be a

"Mi;, he; Harris called him Severn.

"They hoth got away?"

I "What's that! She told you what

"You hot she did; she had one of

"You don't imagine the girl is playIn'

"1 don't imagine nuthin", hut I'm

I could hear the other trnmp'iig
nervously buck* and forth across the
room. His failure to answer mus

a minute, he hurst out with an oath:
"I>?n it, why don't yet sny Romething?

"Y-yos-?of course."
